Seems to be a personal problem that some folks are prone to having. Started for me as soon as I was old enough to read books, then got worse once the first computers came into the house in '83. Never got any better since then.

Daytime activities don't exist when you spend most of daytime at work.

Ding ding ding

If I went to bed at the time I would prefer, I would most certainly not be well rested and alert the next day when I experience the things I want to do. I would be well rested and alert for work and do absolutely nothing that I want to do.

There'll be time to sleep when I'm dead.

/Which will be approximately 10 years sooner than it would otherwise due to lack of sleep.

For a while it was Art Bell keeping me up late. Later with George Noory, it's FARK keeping me up late if Noory's guest is ridiculous and Noory is all uh huh of course what about 2012 when the calendar runs out.

For about 4 years I had real bad insomnia, now I get about 5-7 hours of sleep and I love it. When I start to feel tired I sleep, on weekdays I get to bed 10-11pm and its funny seeing all the tired people at work the next day.

That's a very good point. I had a computer in the house in my teen years but even before that I would often read until the wee hours. For some reason my brain craves simulation in the late evening even if I have been feeling tired all day.

As a fellow sufferer, I'd really love to know what this is all about. Most times I am absolutely incapable of going to bed before midnight, even if I have nothing to do. And there are plenty of times I stay up well past midnight with nothing to do. I agree that this is a post-electricity problem since, pre-electricity, it had to have been hard to find things to do while staying up past sundown with only one candle that has to last you a whole month and you really need in order to find your way to the outhouse or avoid putting your foot into the chamberpot. Now, bedtime procrastination is just a light-switch, or tv-remote-click away. And I'm fully conscious of what I'm doing. Usually I have great self-control so I don't think it's about that.

Yeah, it's a first-world problem... but that doesn't mean it isn't a problem.

I leave for work at 8am, get home at 530pm, eat dinner, play with my daughter, and put her to bed by 9pm. My wife and I then clean up the house, and spend an hour or so together before she passes out.

When the fark else am I going to watch 3 episodes of Supernatural? I am only on season 3.

So 4+ days a week I pass out at 1am, and get back up at 7. Working really screws up my enjoyment of life.

Most nights, when I feel tired, I go to bed.But if I have a project going on (whether personal or freelance stuff), I don't get much of a chance to work on it until everyone else goes to sleep. So I find mself chugging away at it at like 10:00. And there always seems to be one more thing I can get done, just one more, and then I can go to bed. Sometimes I look at the clock and realize it's after midnight and go, DAMMIT!!!
